How fast can ya go LBL?

[aliengrey]

I use the most basic method that exists pretty much. Cross, corners, F2L, orient LL edges, permute LL edges, orient LL corners, permute LL corners. But I still usually average around 40 seconds. I prefer to practice big cubes then 3x3, because I feel I have a better chance at getting good at those.

Well how about this, most beginner method I know, pair up cross pieces to opposite center and insert one at a time, do corners with RUR'U' repeated until solved, middle edges normally, and then four alg LL (FRUR'U'F', sune, A perm, U perm). Of course this is significantly less efficient than the method that I teach to beginners, I'd like to see anyone get sub-20 with this, it's probably 150+ moves

Avg5 with this: 37.42 35.19 38.02 (31.90) (40.84) = 36.88, I even skipped EP on the 2nd and 4th solves XD

Why A perm when you can J perm? I have never seen any beginner's method that permutes corners with the A perm.

I guess I overlooked that one lol

29.84 (26.43) 29.05 27.95 (30.44) =28.74 with the method qqwref supplied. My cube locks up when I do the sexy move on the rush.

I average about 45 seconds using the beginners method that I know (cross, first layer, F2L, OLLE (FRUR'U'F' and its inverse), PLLC (L'URU'LUR'), OLLC (only sune and anti sune), PLLE (U perms)).
